An thin in the "Ohio Department," we may take ftpccinl sjUisfacthm In mentioning these Hltle pecnliarUicn. i " "It in all the fault of the post oflice clerks." .There were 4,041 letters nenfto the dead letter ofi'ioa lnnt year, that had no address whatever; nnd 62,fl87 wereniisdi-reeled by the' writers.

The number actually required wan just twenty-five.. Tub I'oKtumiiter General lava out a heavy mass of busmen for himself in two leading recommendation of bis report 1. The abolition of tlio franking privilege, reiterated. 2. The establishment uf postal telegraphy, reiterated. We shall find room for that part of hi report referring to thena matter in full. They have already provoked mora discussion than all the other remrtn combined. Tiikre is matter for much discussion In the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, We doubt whether any considerable portion of the American people will be willing, under any circumstances, to lodge in the hands of one man the lower to expand and contract tho currency, according to his notions of the necessities of huKincss. The subject In too largo for hasty comment, however. Tiir Dispatch has rather a muddled idea nbout "journalistic enterprise." It very solemnly explains that It did not mean us in its paragraph about the Hebrew Pair dodger, which it wan pleased to term "Journal extra." We do not care immensely whether it did or not. The Fair dodger was not journalistic enterprise, nor was it a Journal extra. The cunning shown by the Dispatch in the construction of the aragrapht exhibited a malicious desire to hit and then creep away, saying "not ynn but that other man." A witiTKR who call hlmsalf "Thomas Pinch" call attention in the Dispatch to one of the most cxaserating difficulties in the management of the Columbus post office tho General Ik'Hvery. He airily suggests that tho Postmaster detail an extra clerk for service at those windows during the rush of applicants In the evening. Tho question that bothers the Postmaster is, where to find that extra clerk. There in not an employe of the office who is not as busy aa a boy Jn a hornet's nest at that particular time. Thomas, if you will call on the Postmaster he will tell you something you never dreamed of. Tub Dsytnn Journal (inadvertently, we are sure) represents the State Jour NAJi fin "advocating" several constitutional measures suggested for discussion by one of ourcorrespondants. The State Journal has not advocated all of these measures, and In opposed to some of them. For example, we are opposed to considering the State- a joint stock corporation, where any sort of question Is to tie voted upon according to the pecuniary share held by any citizen, In the shape of property owned or taxes paid. The voting franchise 1 a personal not a property right ; the body of the people lias no right to tax at all, except for the public use ; and the amount of interest held by any cititen In tho "public uae"doefl not defend upon tho amount of his properly. It may be that men who pay little taxes are more ready to vote them "for tho public use" than they who pay more, but the evils resulting from this, and from giving both classes an equal Voice In the matter, are mall by comparison with the evils of introducing n property element into tho franchise. Wo are opposed to any. re striction or mod ili cat ion of the right of suffrage, whether Its exercise is directed to rights or wrongs of person or property-The case of a railway corporation Is sometimes brought forward a an illustration of what qualifications the State should re quire of voters upon quest Inns involving tax levies. It Is said no one but stock holders vote, or ought to vote. Hut even aa applied these private corporations the statement In not correct. The stockholders vote by express grant of the State, and behind their vote is the vole of tho community, overruling for the protection of the public against the selfish Instlnota of the stockholders of the road. So that, .after all, the public does vote, even in ft railway corporation. "Srnsmle, straightforward, business like," is the com moo verdict as io the President's Message In all those mat ters which most prominently occupy the public consciousness its reeomniendii- tions are extremely satisfactory. ' Bitch as currency and tlie public credit ; TUi preservation 4 our national credit in of the highest importance. Next in importance to this comes a solemn dutv io provide. a nnuoniu currency oi nxt-u unvarying value, a compared with gold and a soon an oracticable. (bavinsdue re gard for tlio interests of the debtor class nnd the vicissitudes or iriuie anu commerce,) convertible into gold at par. That is clear, and sound. Next, an to the South, and the "Enforcement Act": It Is much to be regretted, and is re gretted by no one more than myself, that a nwwity ban ever exUUd to execute the enforcement act. No one can desire more than 1 that the necessity of applying it may never again be demanded. - He expresses his willingness to make the experiment of pardoning some of the convicted, irlth the hope that clemency may have a good effect, hut warns all concerned that thin is not to 1ms taken a indi cating any change in hla "determination to enforce, with Tigor, such ucr, no long as tho conspiracies and combinations therein named disturb the peace of the country.' Will not these sentiment be approved by every patriotic citizen in the Nation? Ho, also, of his recommendations us to internal Improvements, the carrying trtulr, the Indian policy, the civil service, nnd other matters which we rcaervo for further mention n time and opportunity may serve. ' ' Tho Message vindicates the wisdom of the American people in selecting this wise, practical, modest, straightforward man for Chief Magistrate of the Kepiihlic, for four yearn more." It Is worth ton of scholastic pedantry and rhetorical bombast,Ciiaiilkh Ki'mnkk vindicates tho worst praise of the Democracy by introducing a resolution to " strike from the Army Agister and the regimental colors all records of battle fought with fellow-citizens." One needs no medical certificate to sec that the Senator's heart is diseased. The only wonder is that he did not include a resolution to take away all rank and honor, won by conquering armed rebels, from all officers and men of our army and navy. He might have expressed bin object in a much more direct and simple wuy, by moving to strike out the name L'lyises S. Grant, wherever it occur in any public record for the last twelve year.

New York, Dec. 8. Tlio scene at the City Hall this morning ha had no parallel since the day the dead body of Abra ham Lincoln lay within its walls. The building itself had a sombre and mournful appearance, with flags at half mast, pillara eu full led in bin ok serge, and fes toon of the aine material drooping over the portico and enframing the windows. On the balcony, shrouded In mourning emblems and heavy folds of the United Slates banner, is a portrait of Horace Greeley, and below is the Inscription. "We remember with pride his busy life." is BTATK. The hodr uf the dead journalist arrived at the City Hall as early an eight o'clock. It wo home there in a simple hearse, at tended by an escort of honor. The coffin, in tho presence ot comparatively few spectator, was carried to tlie Governor's room and placed upon a temporary bier.

Although preparations for receiving the public were not completed until ten ! o'clock, a early a eight, tho square in I front of the City Hall wo occupied by thousands of men, women nnd children, intent upon taking a farewell look at the face of tho depnrted. Wheronponthc utmost decorum prevailed. There was no jostling, no tumultuous baste to obtain1 ndvantiigeons jiositions. A liusli per vade I too entire assemblage, and each face wore a look nf intense midnesi. The multitude was formed In line, and passed up two by two Into the room where the' body was lying in state. j )STIN,l'rtHKn PARTICIPATOR. I One of tho first men to approach the coffin was General John A. Dix. Among the many distinguished gentlemen in the room was Thurlow Weed, one nf the oldest friend of Mr. Greeley. The old man sat near the head of the body, and seemed pleased to be questioned concerning the life and character of the deceased. TIIL'KIiOVr wf.kd's recollections. . He said he could not recollect that Mr. Greeley ever referred to any youthful amusement. They had been young men together, and as such were often In each other's company. K very body, said Mr. Weed, has hour of relaxation, but Greeley never played. 1 wa as poor a he, ami bad the buttle of life to tight as he h:ul; yet I always took relaxation. You see we were of diflVrent temperaments. Iwiking back over Mr. Greeley's life, I think he showed as much tinscll'iidi ambition a any man that ever lived. His whole life was given to opposing injustice nnd oppression; his character was perfectly pure, for he had no vices that I knew of, and I was most intimate with him. In all matter he wa fearless in tho expression of hi belief, nnd hi whole aim wan to tlo good. ( WKKD TAKKH I.KAVK. When Weed approached the casket ho leaned over the body and gazed long and earnestly into the face of hi former associate, lie seemed deeply affected by the scene, and after looking at tho features of Mr. Greeley for some time he leaned on the shoulder of a friend and left the room. NO TIME TO LOSK. An the multitude filed by with uncov ered heads, each wan allowed a sufficient time to view the dead. Many showed a disposition to Ing behind despite tho whis pered admonition oi gentlemen in charge that there won "no time to lose." There were many ladies who showed linns of emotion, some stopping to kiss tho fore head ol the deceased. MORE CORPS! OAZKR. A the dinner hour of the working classes approached, tho crowd awaiting admittance to the chamber of death he-came enormous. laborer came down town In their working clothes to get one nst look at the taee ut their cheery old friend; working girln of all ages came from their factories nnd stores, and they were very proorly allowed to puss in before tlie wen, who were obliged to stand in a line and await their turn.

Adopted. Sir. Beck of Kentucky asked to be and was excused from service on the select committee appointed yesterday on the Oakes'Ames Investigation, on the ground that during the canvass be had expressed A decided opinion on the subject. Mr. Cox took the chair a Speaker pro tem. nnd appointed Mr. Merrick of Maryland to fill the place of Mr. Beck In the committee. Mr. Wood of New York offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of War for a copy of the report of General Vincent, Assistant Adjutant General, on tho condition ofaffairnof the Freed men 'a Bureau. Adopted. Mr. Scofield of Pennsylvania, from the committee on N'avnl Affairs, reported a bill to authorize the construction of ten steam vessels of war, and appropriating $3,000,000 for that purpose. Tho vessels are to carry each ten or more gun of large calibre, and tho bulla are to be either iron or wood, an tho Secretary of the Xnvy may determine. Mr. Hall of Maine offered nn amendment that not less than five of the ten vessel shall be constructed in private yards in the United States, under contract. Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania advocated the amendment, but thought the bill too closely drawn, and left too much discretion to the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Scofield of Pennsylvania replied to Randall's strictures, arguing that the , more restrictions were placed on the Sec- j retary the lc security there would be to j have the work properly done. Mr. Shellahargerof Ohio gave it nshis I judgment, that a system ought to bo in- Hinted which would be harmonious in plan, in idea nnd In ttllimAte consummation. He believed it wise to put upon tlie seas a class of vessels that would have speed j have size and haveadnptaioni for protection of commerce. He thought it wise to guard, limit, specify and qualify the description of sliijw to l built, Mr. Scofield remarked that the Ideas expressed by the gentleman from Ohio corresponded with the purpose of the committee. Mr. Cox of New York suggested a reduction in the number of vessels from 10 to 6. Mr. Rank said he hnd introduced this bill hist session, In anticipation of trouble with Spain, and n Hairs In the Gulf of Mexico had not improved since then; no nne knew what might occur there any day, and it was proper to be prepared for all contingencies. Mr. Scoueld referred to Mr. Bank a having sympathized with an effort to involve the country In n war with Spain. Mr. Banks denied that hehadeversym-pathized with such effort. After some further debate the morning hour expired, and the bill went over till to-morrow, Tho bill to carry out the fishery clause of the Treaty of Washington wa made the special orderfor the second Tuesday In January.

The Interior Department has never been to efficiently or no economically or no ably managed an since it on me into the hands of Mr. Dtlano. An thin in the "Ohio Department," we may take ftpccinl sjUisfacthm In mentioning these Hltle pecnliarUicn. i " "It in all the fault of the post oflice clerks." .There were 4,041 letters nenfto the dead letter ofi'ioa lnnt year, that had no address whatever; nnd 62,fl87 wereniisdi-reeled by the' writers. It is nafc to nay two hundred Ihounand postoiKco clerks were "Mowed up" and charged wiili felony by the parties in interest, because the misdirected and undirected letters did not reach their destination. - Ah pointed out by the State JocrnaL a week or two nince, the number of new peers necefwary to be mado by Emperor William in order to overcome the Conservative majority In the Ildiiraof Peers was greatly overrated by the leading journals in tbia country, which gave the number variously at from sixty up to one hundred and fifty. The number actually required wan just twenty-five.. Tub I'oKtumiiter General lava out a heavy mass of busmen for himself in two leading recommendation of bis report 1. The abolition of tlio franking privilege, reiterated. 2. The establishment uf postal telegraphy, reiterated. We shall find room for that part of hi report referring to thena matter in full. They have already provoked mora discussion than all the other remrtn combined. Tiikre is matter for much discussion In the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, We doubt whether any considerable portion of the American people will be willing, under any circumstances, to lodge in the hands of one man the lower to expand and contract tho currency, according to his notions of the necessities of huKincss. The subject In too largo for hasty comment, however. Tiir Dispatch has rather a muddled idea nbout "journalistic enterprise." It very solemnly explains that It did not mean us in its paragraph about the Hebrew Pair dodger, which it wan pleased to term "Journal extra." We do not care immensely whether it did or not. The Fair dodger was not journalistic enterprise, nor was it a Journal extra. The cunning shown by the Dispatch in the construction of the aragrapht exhibited a malicious desire to hit and then creep away, saying "not ynn but that other man." A witiTKR who call hlmsalf "Thomas Pinch" call attention in the Dispatch to one of the most cxaserating difficulties in the management of the Columbus post office tho General Ik'Hvery. He airily suggests that tho Postmaster detail an extra clerk for service at those windows during the rush of applicants In the evening. Tho question that bothers the Postmaster is, where to find that extra clerk. There in not an employe of the office who is not as busy aa a boy Jn a hornet's nest at that particular time. Thomas, if you will call on the Postmaster he will tell you something you never dreamed of. Tub Dsytnn Journal (inadvertently, we are sure) represents the State Jour NAJi fin "advocating" several constitutional measures suggested for discussion by one of ourcorrespondants. The State Journal has not advocated all of these measures, and In opposed to some of them. For example, we are opposed to considering the State- a joint stock corporation, where any sort of question Is to tie voted upon according to the pecuniary share held by any citizen, In the shape of property owned or taxes paid. The voting franchise 1 a personal not a property right ; the body of the people lias no right to tax at all, except for the public use ; and the amount of interest held by any cititen In tho "public uae"doefl not defend upon tho amount of his properly. It may be that men who pay little taxes are more ready to vote them "for tho public use" than they who pay more, but the evils resulting from this, and from giving both classes an equal Voice In the matter, are mall by comparison with the evils of introducing n property element into tho franchise. Wo are opposed to any. re striction or mod ili cat ion of the right of suffrage, whether Its exercise is directed to rights or wrongs of person or property-The case of a railway corporation Is sometimes brought forward a an illustration of what qualifications the State should re quire of voters upon quest Inns involving tax levies. It Is said no one but stock holders vote, or ought to vote. Hut even aa applied these private corporations the statement In not correct. The stockholders vote by express grant of the State, and behind their vote is the vole of tho community, overruling for the protection of the public against the selfish Instlnota of the stockholders of the road. So that, .after all, the public does vote, even in ft railway corporation. "Srnsmle, straightforward, business like," is the com moo verdict as io the President's Message In all those mat ters which most prominently occupy the public consciousness its reeomniendii- tions are extremely satisfactory. ' Bitch as currency and tlie public credit ; TUi preservation 4 our national credit in of the highest importance. Next in importance to this comes a solemn dutv io provide. a nnuoniu currency oi nxt-u unvarying value, a compared with gold and a soon an oracticable. (bavinsdue re gard for tlio interests of the debtor class nnd the vicissitudes or iriuie anu commerce,) convertible into gold at par. That is clear, and sound. Next, an to the South, and the "Enforcement Act": It Is much to be regretted, and is re gretted by no one more than myself, that a nwwity ban ever exUUd to execute the enforcement act. No one can desire more than 1 that the necessity of applying it may never again be demanded. - He expresses his willingness to make the experiment of pardoning some of the convicted, irlth the hope that clemency may have a good effect, hut warns all concerned that thin is not to 1ms taken a indi cating any change in hla "determination to enforce, with Tigor, such ucr, no long as tho conspiracies and combinations therein named disturb the peace of the country.' Will not these sentiment be approved by every patriotic citizen in the Nation? Ho, also, of his recommendations us to internal Improvements, the carrying trtulr, the Indian policy, the civil service, nnd other matters which we rcaervo for further mention n time and opportunity may serve. ' ' Tho Message vindicates the wisdom of the American people in selecting this wise, practical, modest, straightforward man for Chief Magistrate of the Kepiihlic, for four yearn more." It Is worth ton of scholastic pedantry and rhetorical bombast,Ciiaiilkh Ki'mnkk vindicates tho worst praise of the Democracy by introducing a resolution to " strike from the Army Agister and the regimental colors all records of battle fought with fellow-citizens." One needs no medical certificate to sec that the Senator's heart is diseased. The only wonder is that he did not include a resolution to take away all rank and honor, won by conquering armed rebels, from all officers and men of our army and navy. He might have expressed bin object in a much more direct and simple wuy, by moving to strike out the name L'lyises S. Grant, wherever it occur in any public record for the last twelve year. The President and Vice President will attend the funeral of Horace Greeley to-dnv. Olllll vitv. lienth of John It. ft. Ilond. Colonel John li. S. Ilond, editor of the Scioto Gazette, died at Chillicothe on the afternoon of lecemher 1st, In tho 5lt year of his age. Ho wan born nt Venice, liutler county, Ohio, March 2ft,lS22. At nt curly ngo he was installed'a a clerk in bin father's store, where he remained until he had reached tho age of fifteen, when Jill father sent him to college. Finishing hi studies, he conceived the Idea of going West and engaging in traffic with the Indians, at Ihut time a very lucrative business. Itclinquishing this idea after reaching Niks, Michigan, hu proceeded to St. Louis and thence to Louisville, Ky., where lie, in company with others, started the Dailv Morning Dime. His venture was subsequently disposed of to W. N; Haldemnn, who changed the name to the Louisville Courier, now the front half of tlio Courier-Journal published in that city. In 1H4S Mr. Komi established in Cincinnati the Daily Dispatch, with which ho remained three years. Subsequently he accepted a position on Der Kepublicaner. - In loot) he lirst became connected with the Cincinnati Gazette, holding hi position for two years, when he purchased the Clermont Courier published at Hat n via, Clermont county winch he owned and edited for live yearn, when he nohl out and removed to Muncic, Indiana, where he p u relinked the Muncle Messenger, This paper he owned just four months, when, owing to tho prevalence of the ague, he was com pel led to dispose of the office and remove to a healthier locality. His next location was nt Mendota, Illinois, (where bin parents now reside.) Hero he purchased the Mendota Press, tho name of which he afterwords changed to tho Mendota Observer. He remained in Mendota two years, and then removed to Dixon, Illinois, where ha purchaud the Dixon Telegraph. In 1800 lie returned to Cincinnati and accepted a business position nn the Daily Penny Pre, published bv Henrv Howl &Co. ' In 1801 be returned to his osition on tlie Cincinnati Gnxctte, where he remained until 1K00, when bis declining health warned him to abandon a position so full of business care. Ho then purchased the Athens Messenger, where he remained for sixteen month, and on the first day of March, 1808, sold the office. In May of tho same year he purchased tho Scioto Gagette of "the Fitch Hrothers and removed to Chil-cotheMr. Itond wan twice married, hi second, and present wife, he married at Kit-Icigli, North Carolina, she being tho widow of Commodore Hiuton, of tho Texan navy, (when that State wag a Itepuhlir,) and niece of Joseph Gales and Charles Seaton, the well-known publishers of the National Intelligencer.

The building itself had a sombre and mournful appearance, with flags at half mast, pillara eu full led in bin ok serge, and fes toon of the aine material drooping over the portico and enframing the windows. On the balcony, shrouded In mourning emblems and heavy folds of the United Slates banner, is a portrait of Horace Greeley, and below is the Inscription. "We remember with pride his busy life." is BTATK. The hodr uf the dead journalist arrived at the City Hall as early an eight o'clock. It wo home there in a simple hearse, at tended by an escort of honor. The coffin, in tho presence ot comparatively few spectator, was carried to tlie Governor's room and placed upon a temporary bier. TIIR COFFIN. The colli ii in black, with heavv silver handles. At the bead was n portrait of Greeley a he apiwared in life and a large chaplet o' tuber roses. The lid bore the inscription "Horace Grcclev; born February 3d, 1811; died Novcmlier 2!th, 1872," 1 ami wan ornamented with festoons of natural fern leave. At the head wan a second inscription, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and yet another at the foot worked in violet, "the citr mourns our loss." THK H KM A IN.. ' Mr. Greeley lav with hi left arm Ivinir ; bv hi Hide and the riijht across his breast. , ins tace was torriolv emaciated ami worn. utterly unlike that which his daily com panions nave ueen accustomed to see. Ilis appearance wan that of man who hnd, alter terrible suflerings, succumbed in a prolonged light with the combined force of mental and bodily nnguixh. 4'OIllttF. OAKIW. Although preparations for receiving the public were not completed until ten ! o'clock, a early a eight, tho square in I front of the City Hall wo occupied by thousands of men, women nnd children, intent upon taking a farewell look at the face of tho depnrted. Wheronponthc utmost decorum prevailed. There was no jostling, no tumultuous baste to obtain1 ndvantiigeons jiositions. A liusli per vade I too entire assemblage, and each face wore a look nf intense midnesi. The multitude was formed In line, and passed up two by two Into the room where the' body was lying in state. j )STIN,l'rtHKn PARTICIPATOR. I One of tho first men to approach the coffin was General John A. Dix. Among the many distinguished gentlemen in the room was Thurlow Weed, one nf the oldest friend of Mr. Greeley. The old man sat near the head of the body, and seemed pleased to be questioned concerning the life and character of the deceased. TIIL'KIiOVr wf.kd's recollections. . He said he could not recollect that Mr. Greeley ever referred to any youthful amusement. They had been young men together, and as such were often In each other's company. K very body, said Mr. Weed, has hour of relaxation, but Greeley never played. 1 wa as poor a he, ami bad the buttle of life to tight as he h:ul; yet I always took relaxation. You see we were of diflVrent temperaments. Iwiking back over Mr. Greeley's life, I think he showed as much tinscll'iidi ambition a any man that ever lived. His whole life was given to opposing injustice nnd oppression; his character was perfectly pure, for he had no vices that I knew of, and I was most intimate with him. In all matter he wa fearless in tho expression of hi belief, nnd hi whole aim wan to tlo good. ( WKKD TAKKH I.KAVK. When Weed approached the casket ho leaned over the body and gazed long and earnestly into the face of hi former associate, lie seemed deeply affected by the scene, and after looking at tho features of Mr. Greeley for some time he leaned on the shoulder of a friend and left the room. NO TIME TO LOSK. An the multitude filed by with uncov ered heads, each wan allowed a sufficient time to view the dead. Many showed a disposition to Ing behind despite tho whis pered admonition oi gentlemen in charge that there won "no time to lose." There were many ladies who showed linns of emotion, some stopping to kiss tho fore head ol the deceased. MORE CORPS! OAZKR. A the dinner hour of the working classes approached, tho crowd awaiting admittance to the chamber of death he-came enormous. laborer came down town In their working clothes to get one nst look at the taee ut their cheery old friend; working girln of all ages came from their factories nnd stores, and they were very proorly allowed to puss in before tlie wen, who were obliged to stand in a line and await their turn. Yl FT V TIIOfSAND SKK HIM. The stream of people anxious to inue Unn the feature of the dead continued undiminished until ten o'clock this evening, when the Governor's room and City Hall were closed. Probably fully hfty thousand persona viewed the remains. MuRU WANT TO BF.K HIM. Messrs J.

IIOl'NK. Washuioton, Dec. 3. Mr. Kellogg of Connecticut introduced a bill to rejieal the stamp tax on bank checks nnd notes. Referred. ' Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania offered a resolution calling on the Hecretary of the Treasury for information an to what law authorir.es him to make Increased issue of legal tender notes, an wan done In October last, and whether nuch issue wan made in the legal tenders heretofore retired, or in new ones, Ac. Adopted. Sir. Beck of Kentucky asked to be and was excused from service on the select committee appointed yesterday on the Oakes'Ames Investigation, on the ground that during the canvass be had expressed A decided opinion on the subject. Mr. Cox took the chair a Speaker pro tem. nnd appointed Mr. Merrick of Maryland to fill the place of Mr. Beck In the committee. Mr. Wood of New York offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of War for a copy of the report of General Vincent, Assistant Adjutant General, on tho condition ofaffairnof the Freed men 'a Bureau. Adopted. Mr. Scofield of Pennsylvania, from the committee on N'avnl Affairs, reported a bill to authorize the construction of ten steam vessels of war, and appropriating $3,000,000 for that purpose. Tho vessels are to carry each ten or more gun of large calibre, and tho bulla are to be either iron or wood, an tho Secretary of the Xnvy may determine. Mr. Hall of Maine offered nn amendment that not less than five of the ten vessel shall be constructed in private yards in the United States, under contract. Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania advocated the amendment, but thought the bill too closely drawn, and left too much discretion to the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Scofield of Pennsylvania replied to Randall's strictures, arguing that the , more restrictions were placed on the Sec- j retary the lc security there would be to j have the work properly done. Mr. Shellahargerof Ohio gave it nshis I judgment, that a system ought to bo in- Hinted which would be harmonious in plan, in idea nnd In ttllimAte consummation. He believed it wise to put upon tlie seas a class of vessels that would have speed j have size and haveadnptaioni for protection of commerce. He thought it wise to guard, limit, specify and qualify the description of sliijw to l built, Mr. Scofield remarked that the Ideas expressed by the gentleman from Ohio corresponded with the purpose of the committee. Mr. Cox of New York suggested a reduction in the number of vessels from 10 to 6. Mr. Rank said he hnd introduced this bill hist session, In anticipation of trouble with Spain, and n Hairs In the Gulf of Mexico had not improved since then; no nne knew what might occur there any day, and it was proper to be prepared for all contingencies. Mr. Scoueld referred to Mr. Bank a having sympathized with an effort to involve the country In n war with Spain. Mr. Banks denied that hehadeversym-pathized with such effort. After some further debate the morning hour expired, and the bill went over till to-morrow, Tho bill to carry out the fishery clause of the Treaty of Washington wa made the special orderfor the second Tuesday In January.

The plan is for the present objectionable city officers to resign and Mayor Hall to fill the vacancies with Republicans unconnected with tho late ring, and who may have influence at Albany to prevent hostile legislation, no that tho officers may bo beyond the control of Mayor Havemeyer.
